  • Automatic adjustment of throughput rate to optimize wireless device battery performance
    Patent number: 11979767
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving a first signal indicating that a user of a first user endpoint device wishes to engage in a data transfer with a second device over a communication network, estimating at least one metric associated with the data transfer, sending the at least one metric associated with the data transfer to a remote server, and initiating the data transfer with the second device in accordance with a temporarily adjusted throughput that is adjusted by the remote server in response to the at least one metric associated with the data transfer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.
    Inventors: John Bulger, Yupeng Jia, Prabhakara Aithal
  • DYNAMIC CONNECTED DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION PROFILE BASED ON QUALITY OF SERVICE
    Publication number: 20230156603
    Abstract: A method includes determining a quality of service class identifier (QCI) level for an application running on a user device, selecting a connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) profile based on the QCI level, and transmitting the CDRX profile to the user device to be used when running the application. The QCI level may be indicative of delay sensitivity of the application and the CDRX profile may be selected based on the delay sensitivity of the application.
